We will never be treated as equals. We will never be given the benefit of the doubt. We will always be seen as guilty, regardless if we prove our innocence.

I don’t care how old it gets but I’m posting this every time anyone mentions Michael Rapaport.

“He’s a Wesley Pipes cosplayer.”

I think the thing that even Starbucks couldn’t escape is that people loiter in that bitch all day long. You never see an empty Starbucks but you see plenty of people sitting at tables long after their coffee’s been thrown out. She’s racist, she tried it, and she lost. Sorry that powerful white men couldn’t save you…

hmm, I couldn’t help but notice the substantial number of black women amid the protesters... Umm brothas/black men, they’ve always had our backs..we must notice these things and do right with sistas/black women.

Man, as a black dude who is also irredeemably bad at basketball, I feel you. I went to Japan a while ago - like, country Japan - to teach at a middle school. As soon as I showed up, a bunch of 16 year olds crowded me, asking me to play ball with them. About 10 minutes into our game, I was (politely) ejected, and sent…

It’s like he plugged a sentence into Google Translate and used AAVE as the output language. That syntax is, in the regurgitated words of Michael Rapaport, wickedy wickedy wack.

Well now we know he reads VSB: FUCK YOU YOU WEAK CHINNED MOTHERFUCKER

It’s like he’s trapped in 1992. I don’t think MC Serch still talks like this.

As a black man who has spent his entire life trying to convince people that I’m not good at basketball just because I’m black (my black friends were understanding and tried to help me get better to no avail, my white friends were incredulous until they saw me bricking shots and didn’t want to play with me anymore),…

No upside for you Damon but a 20 minute AND1 style video of you and random black person who walks by and ain’t got nothing else to do styling on DJ Hellmans and co. would bring the internet a lot of joy.

Two minutes. One-hundred sixty seconds. Cops, arrest, sit in jail for hours.

White people: “They were loitering and refused to leave when asked. It’s Starbucks’ right to do this.”

I thought the same thing.

which really, REALLY highlights J. Johnson’s article from the other day - there can’t be any meaningful consideration taking place about the level of “threat” in that moment, the proper response to that and when that response should be made, all while making diet coffee smoothies and shit. This incident proves that it…

“They told Good Morning America that they arrived at the store at around 4:35 p.m. for a 4:45 p.m. meeting with local businessman Andrew Yaffe. Call logs show that the Starbucks employee called 911 at 4:37 p.m.”

If they block him in and calmly take him into custody, how are they later supposed to justify killing him? Clearly, you don’t think like a racist cop.

Another human shot and killed for existing while black.

“What the hell makes a car “suspicious” in a Walmart parking lot?”, he said, knowing what the real answer is.
